Product Description

One of the most important theologians of the modern era, J.I. Packer sets out his beliefs about the authority of Scripture and the principles that should be applied when interpreting it.

He addresses important topics such as responding to present-day views on Scripture, upholding the unity of the Bible, and addressing challenges in biblical interpretation.

In the context of the intense modern debate about the nature and authority of Scripture, Packer's voice is a welcome respite that brilliantly reaffirms the inerrancy of the Word and the adequacy of divine communication through human categories.

Students, pastors, and anyone who wants to engage more deeply with the Bible and its fundamental nature will appreciate Packer's insights , a man whose wisdom and knowledge of Scripture reinforce his significance as a Christian theologian.
